Hi,

add following code to your .emacs

(defun na-setup-frame ()
  "setup frame"
  (interactive)
  ;;divide vertically upper gets 35 lines
  (split-window-vertically  35 )
  (split-window-horizontally)

  ;;assuming you cursor is in top left window
  (other-window 2)
  ;;will skip to terminal window
  ;;run terminal
  (term "/bin/bash")
  ;;move back to first frame
  (other-window 1))
(na-setup-frame)

you can also call this function using M-x na-setup-frame

regards..
